Our Summer

Posted on Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

Sorry about the lack of posts lately (I don’t know if anyone but my mom really notices though…thanks for reading Mom!).  We have been busy, busy, busy!  We’ve spent time bowling, playing with bugs, swinging, watching baseball games, playing water balloons….

By the way, did you know that when chalk gets wet it’s like paint?  I mean, it makes sense, I just never thought about it.  Derek has a new favorite activity.  Poor Lucas, he was covered in hand prints by the time they were done playing.

We spent the 4th with all things red, white and blue!

We have had our share of hots days…just what summer should be like! I bought a cool sprinkler that we have had lots of fun with.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Posted on Sunday, May 9th, 2010

I hope you all had a wonderful day!  I feel like we spent the entire day eating….I am definitely not complaining!  Not only was today great, the rest of the weekend was too.   Now if we could get warm weather to stay!!

10 on Tuesday

1. I added this design to my shop this. I’ve had the baby boy version available for a while. I just now got around to making a girl version.

2.I had the pleasure of creating this rack card for a repeat customer.  I’ve been thinking I need some Botox.  I think Honolulu is the perfect place for that!

3. The weather last week was amazing!  We took advantage of the warm weather and got out to play as much as we could.  This week has started off rainy and gloomy.  Which is really okay, because the house has been so neglected.  Maybe the rain will force me to get something accomplished in the house!
4. We had a great Easter with family.  You would think it was Christmas…they got so much stuff from the grandparents.  Here they are opening their baskets at home before church.

5. YAY! We finally got our taxes done today.  Always a good feeling…especially when you get a good chunk of money back.
6.  We went to the city on Thursday.  It was the first time the boys had been on a train.

8. We spent a couple of hours at the Shedd Aquarium.  Then we had lunch by the lake.

9. We had so much fun that we went back Friday and stayed the night!  I love Chicago.  I hope we will be able to take several trips this summer.
10. Time to go get some work done!

Easter Designs

Posted on Friday, February 26th, 2010

I just listed a few Easter designs in my shop.  Hopefully I will have a chance to design few more in the next few days.  I love designing Easter cards, it’s a reminder that Spring is just around the corner!  Here are just a few designs…more designs can be found in my shop.
